Hello guys, please help me. I had been using Animal handlebars for years, those 4 old pieces, and I was questioned about riding bent over on the bike. It really bothered me to see that it was very low, I bought this Sunday 9.25 and I think it's high, but now I'm used to it again, but my friend who is quite a BMX veteran said that a frontload table would help with my posture.
In your opinion, am I riding a bike that is a different size than ideal or is my posture wrong? This has been bothering me because I see taller people riding much more comfortably than me using smaller handlebar settings.
Sorry my english.

From this video it looks like a combination of both in my opinion, the bike does look quite small for you but you also are pretty much leaning your chin over the bars, drop your ass down more and bend your knees.
I don’t think there’s anything crazy/weird going on in your riding posture. People’s bodies are different so we naturally ride the way we do. It usually mirrors the way we move in daily life.
I think people misread posture a lot too, I’d say you’re not hunched, maybe your shoulders raise up toward your ears and you don’t crouch into the bike much with your knees, which can be fine or you could change that if you wanted.
